Biography
On the LLM
When I was awarded a scholarship from the Fulbright Commission and the Argentine Ministry of Education, the Fletcher LLM program was my first choice. What attracted me to Fletcher was the curriculum’s focus on how legal issues in the human rights sphere intersect with international relations, as well as it’s approaches to teaching conflict resolution. The multidisciplinary perspective offered at Fletcher not only helps to better understand legal matters in an international context, but encourages students to develop applicable skills, such as lateral thinking, and instills a sense of creativity in approaching those problems. Fletcher helped me understand that law and litigation are not the only tools available for addressing human rights issues and introduced me to the various alternatives.
On the flexibility to address the problems you want to solve
When tailoring your curriculum, Fletcher allows you to not only focus on your interests, but to experiment with courses outside your area to help you develop novel approaches to your field. You can take what you studied in one class and adapt it to your coursework in another. The variety of courses and seminars offered at Fletcher encourages you to be versatile, to think outside the box, and to exchange ideas with faculty members and students who have radically different perspectives. Personally, I have taken advantage of this intellectual diversity to expose myself to unique approaches to the human rights issues I am focused on solving.
